OPTIMISING HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE MOSQUE ENVIRONMENT TO REFORMULATE MOSQUE GOVERNANCE

Abstract

Baiturrahman Mosque, Krajan Hamlet, Ranon Village is one of the places or forums for the community to develop social and religious life. In managing a mosque, optimizing human resources (HR) is very important. These HR include administrators, imams, preachers, caretakers, and volunteers involved in various activities in the mosque. The purpose of this study was to determine the method of optimizing human resources in the management of the Baiturrahman Mosque through planning, implementation, and evaluation of the mosque management system. This study uses an empirical qualitative approach where data is taken from the results of observations and interviews. The results of the study show that mosque activities are more effective with careful planning, clear division of tasks, and community involvement at every stage of management. Regular activities such as congregational prayers, sholawatan, and commemoration of Islamic holidays, which are supported by the use of information technology, show good implementation. Continuous improvement depends on evaluations carried out periodically through deliberations with the congregation and evaluation of program achievements. The Baiturrahman Mosque is expected to continue to develop into a center for religion and community empowerment that is effective, productive, and beneficial to the surrounding community with ideal management.
